Rain Expected Tonight & Then Again Thursday Afternoon & Night; A VERY Mild Friday Is Expected

Since winter seems to be gradually loosening its grip on our area, I’m going to be concentrating more on my “main business” (Crown Weather Services) which is coverage of severe weather and especially tropical storm and hurricane activity starting in May. I’ll still be sending out occasional forecasts, especially for any late season winter weather threats (unfortunately, I think we still have another round of winter weather for the end of this month into the first part of April) and then for the summertime severe weather threats. Just know that the frequency of the weather updates will be less than what you saw throughout the winter. Also, in case you’re interested, I wanted to let you know that I have posted my seasonal forecast for tropical storm and hurricane activity for the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.
